For what platforms is the game available?
The game is available for PCs and Macs.

Does the game require a 3D accelerator?
Yes, the game requires a 3D graphics card. We support a wide range of 3D cards that conform to the system requirement outlined above. Specific 3D card support information can be found here.

Is the game playable over a dial up?
Yes, a 56.6k modem or higher is required.

What is the camera perspective of the game?
The game supports 1st- and 3rd-person camera perspectives. Players will be able to utilize the mouse wheel to adjust the camera angle as the situation dictates and switch between cameras on the fly.

Apple's OS X Boot Camp software lets me boot Windows XP on my Intel-based Mac. Can I run Blizzard games under Windows using Boot Camp on these systems?
Yes, you can if you wish to do so. However, please note that as OS X Boot Camp is in beta form, we can't offer technical support for Blizzard games run under Windows using Boot Camp at this time.

What is Blizzard's plan for native Mac OS support, now that Boot Camp is available?
We have a recognized track record of native Mac OS support, and we have no plans to break with that tradition. We understand that our Mac player base prefers native software whenever possible, and our cross-platform development practice addresses that.

How to kill your free time (if you're with the alliance):

1. Run all the way to the tirisfal glades
2. Attempt to take the airship all the way to orgrimmar
3. I dont care if you have stealth, the guards will still spot you (its even more fun that way)
4. Keep jumping off the tower to avoid the guards and heal when you reach the bottom (if you can)
5. Run all the way up again
6. Jump off again
7. To all druids: spam entangling roots when you jump off and get him outdoors!!
8. Jump on the airship just as it begins to take off
9. Enjoy the ride / kill any hordies below your level
10. Make friends in orgrimmar (i made friends with a tauren drood , a lowbie undead mage and an orc warrior!)*
11. Stealth into orgrimmar
12. Take a stroll in orgrimmar without the guards catching you
13. Die and respawn
14. Walk back home!!

*the warrior killed me... well it wasnt my fault!! that undead mage spat on me!! i had to kill him!! at least i killed that tauren drood before i died


**to all hordies, try it.. but by using the harbour ships instead!!!

i just wana ask, if i buy the burning crusade, does it include the game pay card?

No, it does not come with a game card with it. Basically getting the TBC is like upgrading you're account to get you the access to the TBC content.

so that mean i hav to buy the TBC and the card separately?

Yes, think of it this way:

TBC = Handphone
Gamecard = Pre-paid top up card

For you to be able to call someone with your phone, you need to have enough credit to do so. Likewise, for you to be able to play, you need to have an active account.

Anyone from sabah here play tis game?????

i got the client loaded for 10days trial

but it ask for authentication key during account creation

how do i get tat key from

from blizzard or other players

got my guest pass going on last night. let say i want to continue, i need to purchase the full game right?

can i just purchase TBC straightaway without purchasing the standalone WoW?

nope you cant...if you got a friend who play's wow ask him to invite you and he can get a free month if u register :F

i don't think u get me right. i've already got my 10 days pass. played til my toon's lvl 5. been thinking to upgrade to subscription but still wondering how that works. what should i be purchasing a part from the monthly subscriptions?

WoW key?
TBC key?
Lich king key? heh...

I like TBC though, so i just buy TBC key right? dont need WoW key?

Yes you do,

You have to buy WoW, TBC AND the game card. You get a free month with your WoW purchase.
nobody said WoW is cheap, but its worth it.

think i get it now. no wonder the account management page doesn't say anything about TBC. but if i play WoW only, can i mingle with the TBC people?

activate WoW = get i month free
activate TBC = get anything free?

been playing on private servers. a lot of quests, skills don't work. enemies don't cast spell. tak cun lah. need to taste the real thing.

heh real wow is much2 better than private server, worth the money, try it u wont get any game time from activating tbc

done the registration and everything. but can't login. stuck at Authenticating...

server maintenance is it?

yep :S mabey now can enter...

hey i'm playing but i have trouble buying skills? can't buy anything.

level check, money check, list is green but can't buy. why ahh?

problem solved, hehe. 行きましょ！！！

Ok this is frustrating. I tried today and the same problem happened again. I can't buy any new skills or abilities. Ran the repair tool twice but nothing changed. Anybody has any idea how to solve this?

Hi,
I'm new to the game but have not got much time to explore. I am playing a Night Elf Hunter and would like to ask:

What's the difference between Spellbook and Abilities versus Talents?

What are the difference between Hunter Spells and Hunter Talents? Can anyone recommend me a good build for Hunter or some forum / board / website which can guide me?

It could be that certain spells are link to talents so if you do not invest in a talent point, might not work. You can see the spell at the trainer but starting from rank 2 onwards. Rank 1 is given when you spec for it.

What spell was it you wanted to learn?
